- Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. 19 minutes ago:
It is still open source. The attempt at relicensing isn’t legally valid. The consent of earlier contributors was not obtained.

Assuming newer versions are derived from code that was licensed GPL in the old version, the newer versions (which include new code) are also licensed GPL, whether the person writing the new code likes it or not.

How has nobody posted the geology XKCD yet?
- Comment on Rule34 blocked the UK entirely rather than comply due to the new law. 4 days ago:
Realistically one can come up with any number of axes and still be wrong, because the domain of politics isn’t a metric space.
- Comment on Rule34 blocked the UK entirely rather than comply due to the new law. 5 days ago:
That’s a political compass, and it’s still missing several political axes.
- Comment on cookie combs 1 week ago:
It’s not a plain tiling problem, it’s a circle packing problem. The optimal euclidean circle packing results in each cookie having six cookies around it, and so when they melt, hexagons.
- Comment on Nginx Proxy Manager 2.12.4 Released with Certbot Enhancements 4 weeks ago:
It works fine for me, fwiw

It doesn’t feel finite, I’ll tell you that much.
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 1 month ago:
unless they stole your buddy’s credentials
Thank God trolls never steal people’s credentials so they can hack a small server because they’re bored.
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 1 month ago:
True, though WinRar is technically neither.
- Comment on Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO 1 month ago:
would you rather …
If it means no VC, yes, without a doubt. That’s kind of the point.
- Comment on Good experience with neko remote browser 1 month ago:
Because cat people are weird as fuck.
- Comment on Do you actually audit open source projects you download? 2 months ago:
I’m writing a paper on this, actually. Basically, it’s okay-ish at it, but has definite blind spots. The most promising route is to have AI use a traditional static analysis tool, rather than evaluate the code directly.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 2 months ago:
To be fair, there has been very slow progress toward securing some endpoints. But yeah, I was probably being too charitable; the project places way too much emphasis on “backward compatibility” and not enough on security.

You probably shouldn’t just expose jellyfin to the internet quite yet though. There are some ongoing efforts to fix unauthenticated endpoint problems.
- Comment on Sharing Jellyfin 2 months ago:
Oh, go away.
- Comment on minecraft alternative for windows and android 3 months ago:
None-exist with both a PC client and mobile app, unfortunately.
- Comment on conduwuit, “featureful fork of conduit” (Rust Matrix homeserver), is discontinued 3 months ago:
Ah, sure. Yeah, goroutines are a well-implemented abstraction.
- Comment on I hope she found herself 3 months ago:
She intentionally joined a search party, of course, but accidentally joined one that was for her.

Go
…huh?
